I'm glad you haven't run into any problems.. but I wouldn't brag too much about that since if it fails you potentially could void your warranty since you didn't change it. I believe Ford recommends changing it every time.

You're mistaken in your belief that Ford calls for the drain plug to be replaced at every oil change, ......... the dealerships don't change it at every oil change.

You face the same risk of warranty being void if the third party plug you're using fails.

Poll: I have yet to replace the oil drain plug  56%

I bought a Ronin Aluminum drain plug to make life easier down the line. They are expensive but i REALLY hate making a mess.

Also the filter has a stem inside the housing. Be careful not to damage it and if it breaks don't ignore it. In general its a very simple process since the filter is on top of the motor and will have no oil in it. Change all the o-rings every oil change and change the plastic plug at least every other oil change. 

I don't have any mess issues with the plastic drain plug, and have a spare one on hand but still using the original after 2.5 years and 9 oil changes.

Is NA 1 18 the latest, most current version?

Yes.

I use an oil extractor similar to yours, but it doesn't work on the 2.7L ecoboost because the tube doesn't go to the bottom of the sump.

Thanks Ron.  Amazon may be my best option.

 

These filters are both uncased, I've never dealt with these before, only screw-on oil filters.  Is there a trick to these?  Do they just drop into the oil filter cylinder that I'll remove from the car?

Autozone also stocks the Motocraft filter. - https://www.autozone.com/external-engine/oil-filter/motorcraft-oil-filter-fl2062/12446_0_0

Quite straight forward.

The cap might be bigger than your standard socket set includes.

The small O-ring is a little tough to get off and on, just be patient - I use a cloth or gloves to get traction on the O-ring, and don't struggle as much as he did in the below video.

I order mine from Amazon.

First thing to do is stay out of the dealerships. They charge double for what you can get repaired at a local shop. A new aftermarket turbo is only around $500. The waste gate rod is adjustable and can be lengthened to take up the slack from wear if it's not sealing. Get that checked out before replacing turbo.

Any chance you could post a link to one of these direct fit aftermarket turbo's.

LOL, not even K&N make such claims.

I get this from that link: Search results for: 'product.aspx' - Your search returned no results.

There's a few items such as the drive shafts, CV joints and brake rotors that are not painted and will always get some surface rust fairly quick, but the other painted suspension parts are quite typical for areas that salt the roads - quite possible that it was driven by the dealer or driven to the dealer on salted roads and never rinsed off.

In the photo of the brake rotor it looks like a bolt that's not fully tightened - got another photo of that?

It would be very difficult to stand your ground with the dealer on the superficial rust, but would admit, not something I'd like, and many dealerships have similar discounts on vehicles that don't show those signs, and don't believe that's behind the discount you got.

Well they do need to have symptoms to get Ford to pay for the update.

So if i say that i want the newest TSB i just request it?  or do i need to say i have problems.

 

also, anyone know if i do take it i should i flash my car back to the stock tune?

For the TSB, see a few posts before yours - you could tell them that you're experiencing the symptoms.

Regarding the tune, what I've read so far the position of this  differs from dealership to dealership - others here can report on their experience.

Mine takes about 3 minutes with the wheels rolling.

I'm in the same boat with Ron, that option is not available on my 17' Sport. ?

Looks like we didn't pay attention to the section this is posted in "2007-2014 Edge & MKX Generation I ".

It may not allow you to do this in the base cluster, but in the advanced cluster, under Settings/Vehicle Settings, Vehicle, Oil Life Reset, you can set the desired % for the light to come on.

 

EDIT:  Base cluster - go into Settings, Convenience, Oil Life Reset.

Thanks, but no such option on my 2017 Sport.

My wife and I have a 2014 Edge. It has 97k miles on it. It has great pressure on the AC system but the AC cuts off and on. If it turns off it stays off. I am thinking it is the low pressure switch. I would like to test the low pressure switch but I can’t locate it.  I have tried to explore on google and YouTube too. Any help would be appreciated.

I just bought this 08 Edge and every once in awhile the trans will shift so hard it feels like someone rear ended you, there is no increase in RPM's or any kind of warning. the fluid is super clean and i put some "Lucas Trans No Slip" in and yesterday it happened again which means it will be awhile until happens again more than likely. Please help!!

My 2011 Ford Edge driver side handle came off today. I thought it was just the plastic but the latch and spring fell to the bottom of the door. Not sure if someone had a similar problem and got it repaired. Looking for cost estimates

Are you the original owner of the vehicle?  You might want to check at what level the warning of remaining oil life is set.  By default I think it is 10% but some are aggressive enough to change it to 50% due to either changing oil early, or knowing they won't go into the shop right after the warning pops up, etc.

 

Not sure I'm reading that correctly, but how do I go about changing the service due alert to 50% ?

Does this forum have any limits to the amount of text and images users may use in their signatures?

Some have signatures that are more than one page long.

I'm approaching 50K miles and will soon install the new Atturo tires I bought on special a few months back.

When I get  them installed I will not have them do alignment - the wear on my tires confirms that the alignment is 100% correct and I won't risk changing that.

Mine were on track to get the same mileage as yours, and would have gone with OEM pads when due, BUT the vibration when applying brakes at highway speed forced me to replace rotors, so went with the ones in the below thread.
